“…The reliability of the diagnosis for PO21 is enhanced because of involvement of the spine, which is the most commonly affected part of the skeleton (Luk, 1999: 338;Roberts and Buikstra, 2003: 95, and references therein). As expected, based on clinical evidence, the lower thoracic and lumbar spinal bodies of PO21 were most affected (Nathanson and Cohen, 1941;Niwayama, 1995: 2463). However, the vertebral column of PO21 also shows cervical and sacral spine involvement, which is not common Niwayama, 1995: 2463).…”

“…Multifocal lesions are seen in only 30% of cases. 15,16 Rarely is there concomitant pulmonary TB. 16 In the early stages, patients usually present with painful swelling of the clavicle, with no major bone destruction; only in the later stages is there formation of a cold abscess or sinuses/ulcers.…”

A man, aged 25 years, presented with pain, swelling, and drainage from the right clavicular area. He had a past history of abscess at the sternoclavicular joint. The cultures from the drainage site grew methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, and he was placed on appropriate antibiotics. As S. aureus infection of the clavicle is often secondary in nature, particularly in adults, a thorough workup was done to identify the underlying cause. Quantiferon gold, done as a part of the workup, came back positive, while the bone cultures grew S. aureus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. He was placed on 9 months of combination therapy for tuberculosis osteomyelitis with a good clinical outcome.

“…The skeletal lesions are usually solitary and may be associated with tuberculous arthritis of the adjacent joint. 30% of cases are multifocal [4]. While most of the affected patients in developing countries are under 45 years of age, in developed countries osteoarticular tuberculosis is now a disease of the elderly, affecting mainly people older than 60 years [5][6][7].…”

Destructive Osteoarthritis after Delayed Diagnosis of Tuberculosis

et al. 2002

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Osteoarticular tuberculosis rarely occurs in developed countries. Initial symptoms are often overlooked and the diagnosis is frequently delayed for several months. Thus, despite available diagnostic tools and accessible treatment, destruction of affected joints remains a complication of non-vertebral osteoarticular tuberculosis even in industrialized countries. We report a patient from Cleveland, Ohio, USA, in whom the delayed diagnosis of tuberculous osteoarthritis led to severe destruction of the left knee and finally, after superinfection with Staphylococcus aureus, to an above-the-knee amputation. The epidemiology, presentation, diagnosis and treatment of nonvertebral tuberculous osteoarthritis are discussed.
